Twin Words

Hop from a word to its sound-alike twin and back again, weaving a path through the grid.

How to play

The board is filled with words, each of which has a homophone partner somewhere on it. Tap a word, then tap its twin to link them, building a chain that alternates between matching sound-alikes until the grid is cleared.

• Tap a word, then tap its homophone partner to pair them
• Keep linking twins to extend your path
• Clear the matched pairs to open up the grid
• Finish the board for the best score

Controls

Tips & strategy

• Scan for the obvious pairs first to thin the board and reveal new connections
• Say each word aloud in your head — twins match by sound, not by spelling
• Plan a couple of links ahead so you don't strand a word without its partner
